The new plants are really pretty. I can't help noticing each time you show that area how sweet the little lady statue looks out there. It provides some other interests out there and gives it life. Love it!

[@ellajones2792]

Just would love to say I been looking at your videos long before u had your first child ,I'm 66 today and think God still going

[@jmwoods1428]

Your little garden girl statue always puts a smile on my face.

[@jhunt5862]

"Benjamin said he wanted to help but he's nowhere to be found". Wait till he's a teenager, Laura! He'll be so busy you'll never be able to find him! 🤣

[@michaliareeton3247]

I know what you mean as mine were just like that.

[@posturebalanceandfitness8429]

Truth! 😂

[@loribethartist6353]

So true! My littles loved “helping” me until they hit the teenage years… now I ruin their day by saying hello in the hallway 😆

[@suemenges291]

You mentioned your Mom..We haven't seen your mom for awhile. How is she? Would like to see you two go on a shopping trip again. Love those times ❤

[@sunbursttangerine]

The relaxing sound of rainfall is *chef’s kiss* 🥰👩🏻‍🍳🤌🏻

[@adriennesadlo9569]

I can go to back to bed just with the soothing sounds of rain.

[@jacksvlogs9924]

Would you ever make a 1 hour video of shots around the garden? Seeing that rain footage was so calming and beautiful! Just listening to the rain and seeing all the different plants! I’d love to see more!

[@HannahBMann]

Beautiful flowers! Glad you didn't get soaked, so I don't feel too badly about saying how nice the sound of that rain was! 🤣

[@bethkrager6529]

I could watch those flowers swaying in the rain all day.

[@boothgoodies6348]

Yes, Aaron! Give me all the rain footage! I’m always gardening in the rain here in florida, as long as there isn’t any lightening.

[@reneefolds303]

Good morning GA fam... I watch Laura and I'm jealous...so envious. I can't work in my yard/garden the way I used to or want to.. I suffer from something called ankylosing spondylitis and my body hurts so so bad every day and just seems to be getting worse. I live vicariously through Laura and her beautiful gardens and just imagine what my garden and yard would look like if I was able to do things still.

[@bobbihofacker2706]

Sorry you are dealing with pain, I have MS and 100% understand. MS has really limited what I am able to do. Alot of pot planting for me these days.

[@gretchenburton7184]

So sorry you are experiencing such pain. Prayers for help and easing of any and all suffering💗

[@reneefolds303]

@@bobbihofacker2706 I need to start doing more pot planting. I've never been good at potted plants just more successful with plants in the ground in the garden.

[@reneefolds303]

@@gretchenburton7184 thank you. I just want a day or even two pain free.

[@gretchenburton7184]

@@reneefolds303 you might look at some you tube vids by Dr. Bradley Nelson re the emotion code and body code. Also, today I will receive via mail a lemurian plug. My friend told me that it changes the energy in her house. I am open to lots as have had lots of pain.

[@yougrowgail]

So happy you are getting so much rain this season. I know that doesn’t always happen for you and you enjoy it so much. Maybe it’s Mother Nature saying “oh Laura has so many gorgeous things going in, let me help her out with the watering! ♥️

[@Gin0827]

My thoughts were similar, “you need one less thing on your plate sweet Child, let me help you with that”. ❤️

[@ReganAMurphy]

the rain storm just added to the whole video… 💚

[@robynwalters6083]

Love seeing how helpful Benjamin is. My 2yo has been seeing your videos since he was born. He’s now wanting to smell all the flowers. And I’ve been working to wake up my elephant ears. He’s also wanting to help bring them back in the house. Makes me so happy to see the next generation excited to grow thing and help.

[@JessLucas25]

Benjamin is a trooper. Nice light rainy days

[@folee_edge]

oh, the surprise at the end just made this video!

[@maureengee364]

Fun video a bit of everything. Plants, rain and seeds and a great surprise at the end. Love seeing Mr. Benjamin. Great helper.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@judyheim6998]

Greenhouse looks so nice and organized. Especially like where you decided to place the cat- the perfect accent- especially on a rainy day.

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

😂🤣😂🤣, "place the cat". Cats have a tendency to place themselves wherever they want... 😂🤣😂🤣

[@tommyependergrass1913]

Rain in the Spring Time….ahhh. Sorry you got wet Laura but it was the perfect Caption of all things beautiful for us caretakers but made Perfect by God!

[@nicolassmith4728]

Hi.

[@summerkeirsey9561]

Girl, you are the human version of Mother Nature! LOVE your videos and enthusiasm! It’s contagious

[@carolnelsongerontologist]

Benjamin just takes it in stride that his Mommy plays in the dirt in the rain. Just so cute.

[@deannadenmead9780]

So envious of the rain you've been getting. We're desperate in Utah!

[@camicri4263]

Unusual for you to get soaked! The plants loved all the attention from the sky! Beautiful flowers! 🤗💜🤗

[@TexasMyTexas]

Ahhhh….those rainy shots were glorious! ☺️☺️☺️

[@gaylestegall7239]

I get so excited when it rains right after I put out plants.

[@yougrowgail]

Amaranth! It’s shocking that absolutely giant plants come from such teeny tiny seeds. In one season no less!! Plants are amazing!

[@bettyjrogers]

Excited to see the ajuga get planted. 😁

[@anokcanocano2036]

You two are like friend....... ❤️Envy all the best 💓😍👌

[@lgrillo]

I'd just like to say that whoever edits these videos is masterful, and the choice of music is always fantastic. I really love the acoustic guitar music in this vid-so beautiful.

[@marebear09]

Agreed!

[@terrivance8750]

Laura, The Snail Vine seems to have a low germination rate. Of the 5 I planted last year, only 1 germinated &, unfortunately, it didn't survive long--so frustrating! You're a master gardener, tho, so if anyone can get this vine to grow, I have confidence that it will be you!

[@lgparker4726]

Oh how jealous am I; for that wonderful rain. Here in UK we haven't had a down pour like that for over a month. All the plants will just love it too.😊

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

@LG Parker, I'm jealous too. No rain here, just West of Phoenix in Avondale, Arizona since February. Not even a drizzle. 😢😭😭

[@krybastian2611]

Each day I’m so excited to see what you and Aaron do next! I would be interested in seeing some videos about the behind the scenes process of filming and can’t wait to see the exciting project you teased in the highlights yesterday. Maybe your third channel could be called, “Offshoots”😍

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

Benjamin is a great little helper. He was so mesmerized by the pretty statute in the garden (5:24)!

[@christabelantoine2244]

Just warms my heart to see Benjamin working right alongside you. Such a helper! Rainy blessing!

[@marcyjo1972]

Thank you for being so real. The last 4 days has been cloudy and chilly outside so I bundled up and tackled building new beds and planting in a race against winds, rain and chill!

[@wynorawishum5860]

Beautiful plants. They will be so pretty in the south garden. You are so lucky to get such a nice surprise from Little Prince. Have a blessed day

[@garymcdade4446]

Sheila in Chattanooga, TN here . . . WHAT A WONDERFUL SUN SHOWER! My grandmother always said, "If it rains with the sun shining that means it will rain at that same time the next day." I am amazed at how often that happens; I always watch for it the next day and smile as I think about my Nanny.

[@michelleernst4205]

Love the new music!! Also, thank you for opening my eyes to more beauty in the world. My walks are slower now because I am admiring all the plants I see on them - noticing shades of green in shrubs that I used to be blind too. I appreciate you all so much for this. World changing.

[@bloomingnut23]

Laura planting in the rain 🌧️ now your a real NY gardener haha. We get a lot of rain. Beautiful flowers

[@bktcz]

The rainfall portion was like watching one of those Calm app commercials... what a lovely way to start the day! Thank you!

[@alyssasoto3299]

I think a flagstone pathway would look really beautiful going through that area in the south garden!

[@jmccraw777]

Loved the planting in the ☔️(perfect hair after the rain🤪) I don’t mind working in some rain. Makes it much cooler

[@rulu3345]

I love to get out in the rain to plant, it's always so quiet and peaceful, just me and the birds.

[@divinelotus19]

Congratulations on all the rain. I wish California would get some. Living in the south now but I will always love CA. The south you get rain. Proper rain, which is amazing.

[@themamabearlife3339]

😂☔ Oh my goodness, you're a trooper Laura! You stuck it out longer than most would have in the rain! 🌧️

[@mimisgarden3493]

I am so relieved you are just planting amaranth seeds now. I started mine weeks ago, and they've done really poorly. I didn't want to start over, because I thought it was too late! Now I know I can try another round and it should be okay.

[@felixpuncrocoi]

I've been up since 2:30 with my kids, and your video almost made me fall asleep with the beautiful sounding rain. Hoping they nap! 🤞🤞

I have no idea why I’m crying ! But I am! I started balling during the shots of you planting in the rain. I always enjoy watching and learning from you.

Was going to make a comment about the beautiful peaceful rainfall but Laura refusing to say bastard on camera wound up being the highlight for me. Gomphocarpus flashbacks. 🤣

[@missouriartiste]

How lovely this was to hear the sweet rain, and see you still enjoy planting in it!. You are my inspiration to dancing in the rain Laura! The flowers are beautiful, have both those varieties and love them!

[@cole7174]

OHHH!!! The sound of that rain is DIVINE!!!! I could watch the camera sweep across all your gardens with that rain as the background noise all day!!! The pop of pink color is glorious and I adore that "Dumbo" plant. Love it all!! Can't wait til the weather lightens up here is Michigan...still too darn cold!

[@tanyareynolds2382]

Seeing you stay out planting in the pouring rain made my heart happy. Sometimes we just need to take our time in the garden when we can get it. Just wanted to say thank you for that.

[@denisedorsey2889]

She did one on the highlights channel. Maybe 2 years ago? It’s beautiful and Laura did all the filming and editing by herself if I remember correctly. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

[@sharonknation2831]

Love the statue, perfect spot for her. Loving ❤️ all the rain.

[@archescience1770]

You will LOVE the corkscrew/snail vine. They need ants to pollinate. The aroma is like a hyacinth. They are my favorite vine.

[@jessicacarrasco7282]

I really appreciate that you just try different plants and see how they go. Sometimes I feel like I am wild and just try different things just to see what works. Thank you for showing us that even an expert like you flies by the seat of your pants sometimes!

[@aisling6564]

I was planting in the rain yesterday too, I'm in Ireland though so that's to be expected every now and then :). Love it, love the rain, good times.

👋🌞Good morning Laura! Those Monarda and Phlox plants are STUNNING!!!🤩 What a sweet, strong helper you have! 👋Hi Benjamin! Wow!!! You really got poured on. Dang, some more rain. I'm still waiting for the rain you are supposed to be sending me, just West of Phoenix, in Avondale, AZ. Here waiting for it, Laura. 😉😂🤣 Great success with the yarrow!! Hopefully, that 25th one is just a slow starter.🤞 Good luck with the blue poppies!🤞🍀 If no luck, try January, like you said. Yaaaay, plant mail....👏👏 I was just thinking, what huge, beautiful leaves on that violet plant. I've never heard of a money wort (sp?). But, it sure is pretty. That pineapple lily has very pretty leaves! 😂🤣😂🤣😂Bas***d Balm. What a strange name for a plant. Who did that poor plant tick off to get that name?😉😂🤣 And the final plant, Abutilon. Definently resembles maple leaves. I didn't know any of the plants you received. Such funnnn and unique plants to receive from Little Prince!!!🤗🤩😍 Psssst, Little Prince, I want some fun, free plants 😉🥰 Have a Blessed and Beautiful day everyone! Kimberley F in AZ 🌞🌵💞

I first saw snail vine at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home in Virginia It was a favorite plant of his. I overwintered it in zone 5b for a few winters. Very fragrant.

[@MyBackyardScience]

We really love Phlox! Ours bloom all summer long, and are the last of our garden to stop blooming in the fall. They are awesome! We need to add shorter varieties as ours grow 4 plus feet tall. It is great to be introduced to so many different varieties on this channel 🙂

[@nicoletihista7031]

I love the placements you do for your plants! I struggle with that so much! And watching you plant in the beautiful rain was so peaceful! I loved it!
